Everyone Deserves An
IT Company They Can Trust
With 14 years in business running an Apple consultancy, Justin Esgar, the founder of the NonprofIT SummIT figured out one thing—nonprofits are not putting resources into their technology in the right ways. Too many smaller nonprofits were continuously choosing the lowest cost IT options, reserving as many dollars as possible to keep funding their amazing causes. In theory, that makes sense. If you run a nonprofit and are granted any money, you want that to go directly to your cause. However, Justin found one metric that kept being overlooked — productivity. When staff are running on slow, older computers, the website isn't mobile-friendly, or there is data sprawl, the team's progress is limited and fundraising goals are often missed.
Armed with that knowledge, Justin set out to help nonprofits maximize their productivity through smart, efficient IT tools and processes while staying within budget and achieving their fundraising goals. With guidance from Justin and his team, nonprofits of every scale have been achieving stable, continuing growth year after year. Justin realized that industry-specific IT expertise is fundamental for the 92% of nonprofits that make less than $1m in revenue a year—to help them dismantle internal barriers and break through their current self-capped ceilings.
Hence, two new initiatives were born:
1) Nonprof-IT.com - where nonprofits go to learn about technology.
2) The Nonprof-IT SummIT - bringing in industry experts to help pave the way for nonprofits.
Our goal is to help all nonprofits succeed and grow, one smart decision at a time.
